The Girls Are All So Nice Here
by L.E. Flynn
4.5 Stars
One thing's for sure after finishing this - the girls are all definitely not so nice here! This was such a great read, an unrelenting & vicious glimpse into just how far those in toxic friendships are willing to push one another.
The story captured my attention right from the beginning! I was a huge fan of the dual timelines here, they worked really well & added to the suspense throughout. The characters were well thought out & the Mean Girls-esque ways in which they act with one another were executed perfectly. (Also, Ambrosia Wellington may just be one of the best character names, ever) What these girls do to one another is brutal - CW if you're triggered in any way by bullying, sexual assault, & suicide. It didn't feel exploitative, however - in fact, I was instantly reminded of a highly publicized murder trial a few years back centered entirely around something similar to what happened here. Unfortunately, behavior that may seem far fetched for some is a harsh reality for others.
Overall, I had a really great time with The Girls Are All So Nice Here & this sits strongly somewhere between 4 & 4.5⭐️'s for me! Thank you so much to Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, NetGalley, & Simon & Schuster for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
